Denver Trip Pictures

I've posted some pictures from our recent trip to Denver, Colorado. We had a good time while visiting the mile high city. Our morning outing was to the Botanic Gardens (featuring a very interesting enclosed rain forest), followed by a tour of the Colorado Rockies Stadium (Coors Field). That evening we had an excellent steak dinner at the Denver Chophouse. Denver is known for having exceptionally good beef, at reasonable prices, and the Chophouse did not disappoint.

The next day we visited the Denver Zoo and captured some intriguing pictures of the animals. While at the zoo we experienced a rather dramatic change in the weather (heavy rain, thunder and lightening) that suddenly shifted into a full fledged tornado alert. We almost got locked behind the zoo gates, but we escaped to the parking lot in time to make it to the airport for our return flight. We drove to the airport with the tornado sirens blaring in our ears. Fortunately the weather calmed down by the time we arrived at the rental return location and our flight home was only slightly delayed from the scheduled departure (about twenty minutes).

Chili was sure happy to see us later that night when we picked her up from the vet. It's always exciting to reunite with our canine companion. We were also excited to see how far along the exterior painting of our house had progressed.

You can see our Denver trip pictures and our freshly painted house pictures posted to the right and at the bottom of the blog page.
